Blade tells the story of the evolution of the shape, size, and material of the competitive oar blade, from its early symmetrical forms in wood to the modern asymmetrical form in carbon fiber. It displays the beautiful form of the oar blade and combines scientific formulas, imagery, diagrams, data tables, and text to illustrate the physics of propulsion and the movement of the blade through the water. The artwork is mixed-media on canvas and measures 76cm x 51cm (30” x 20”). The original was sold to a private collector.
